Add Energy said the contract wins, which include two additional oil and gas operators and an expansion into power generation, have also secured jobs for the next three years.

The company also plans to add another 10 new jobs by the end of this year.

Add Energy executive vice president, Peter Adam, said: “We are thrilled to have increased the headcount in our Aberdeen office, especially at a time when many companies are looking to reduce personnel.

“We have endeavoured to recruit locally during the process to ensure opportunities for both the development and employment of graduate engineers in the city.

“Recruiting locally also allowed us to attain the local expertise and build a pool of highly experienced principle engineers to consult for our clients and also mentor and coach younger engineers for the future.”
